A. NJ. Dewey, who has been special or

his hobby-a weekly paper TO be the

one Of the most interesting features Of
the secretary's report is his chapter on

decrease in the membership Of the order,
but the secretary has an explanation for
this. He says The number of members

The salary expenses were az follows:

A Judge on Divorce.

Judge Howe OF Indianapolis recently
made some sensible remarks touching
divorces. An attorney wanted him
to take up q divorce case, urging that
it would take only Ave minutes to try
it. But the judge said that no case Of
divorce could be tried in five minutes,
and went on to make some reflections
on the multiplicity Of such actions.
He deprecated the idea that power
ty was q sufficisnt cause for setting
aside q marriage, and denounced the
intermeddling practices of friends and
relatives who fill the wife's head with
the notion that she IS a martyr. He
instanced a case which had come her
sore him. where the daughter Of q we'll
TODD citizen had married q young
man, and although he had done the
best he could, the wife was told by
meddlesome friends that she should
have made a better match. and eventu-
ally a suit for divorce was the result.
One Of Washington Irving's most
delightfui sketches is that which tells
US of a wealthy man who married q
fashionable woman and shortly alter
their marriage lost oil his property.
The poor man suffered fortunes at the
thought OF how his wife would feel
when she knew the facts, but to his
surprise and Joy, she went from the
big city house, with its fine furniture
to the little cottage in the country,
with q light heart and merry counts
nance, and theirhappsness was uninter.
rupted.
This was probably q mere fancy
sketch Of Irving's but it has been
many a time matched and more than
matched in real life. And it should be
the true and only story oil welded lite
where misfortune has interviewed in
spite Of the husbands honest exer-
tions. The old fashioned idea Of mar
riage was that it was marriage for life,
and it will be q good thing when that
idea shall become prevalent again.

fore.
The opening meeting in the morning was
held at the Washington Rink, which holds
10000 people. Mr.. John j. McGaugkey
presided. Mayor Ames and a number OF
the distinguished members OF the conven-
tion occupied seats on the platform. Mr..
McGlaughey called upon Mayor Ahnes to
make the address OF welcome in behalf OF
the city. The mayors remarks were gent
al and characteristic.
Mr.. Richard GrifithR OF Chicago, a vet
eran worker in the order, in appropri-
ate terms acknowledged the warn recep-
ton that had been rendered the delegates
n the kind greetings of the mayor. Mr..
A. A. Carleton OF Massa chusetts, a member
OF the general executive board also spoke.
Nh. Ralph Beaumont, one OF the most
distinguished members OF the order, was
next called upon. He spoke with great
ease and elegance. He made some very
graceful and welI.turned illusions to Min
neapolis. He referred to the various
stages OF success and dependency in the
history OF the order and asserted hat il
this organization goes down it will only
DO to give place to another mightier than
this, for as long as injustice remains in the
land the struggle will be maintained.
The next speaker vas Mr.. Richard Trev-
ellich, one OF the most powerful speakers
in the order. A synopsis OF his remarks
would give a faint idea OF their impressive
ness. In conclusion he said: 1--WE come
here with the olive branch Of peace in our
hands. Let no act OF yours bring disgrace
upon the great body. Let your words and
proceedings have in them wisdom and dig
nifty, be a worthy example even for the
great congress OF our country"
At the evening meeting som 10, 900 per-
ons were present. Mr.. McGaughey pre-
sided.
Richard Travellick OF Detroit was called
to the front. His address was a powerful
and eloquent explanation Of the mission
Of the Knights OF Labor.

When Mr.. Powderly came forward to
speak the cheering was deaiening.
The speaker made q strong appeal to
his hearers to advance and take the sta
tion in the world which belongs TO them
by right and which they are SO competent
to fill. He expressed his confidence in the
right and justice OF the principles which I'm
derlie the order, and his unabatsd courage
in it's future. All the opposition and all
the abuse he had received had not changed
him in the least. And then he had a good
word for the kickers.
Mr.. Powderly predicted a time when all
wosking men would be organized under one
head and lead against one common foe.
He made q touching a~llusion to Thomas
A. Armstrong. OF the Pittsburg Labor
Tribune, whose death was announced Sum
day evening.
At the close OF Mr.. Powderly's address
resolutions eulogistic Of Mr.. Armstrong
were adopted.
President Al. j. streeter, Of the National
Farmers alliance. made AN interesting adj
dress on the subject. "The People; Their
Government" He said that while he did
not take the character of the chronic
grumbler, still 1t fell to him to show up
some OF the evils OF the times. He referred
particularly to tae d~eplorable condition
OF the farr4ers Of Illinois, his wi state.

On Tuesday there were numerous ar
rivals OF belated Knights. The first and
only matter taken up during the day was
TIE report Of the committee on credentials.
The report occupied the morning and aft.
er moor sessions.
MICHAEL DAyTTT THE KNIGHTS.
The session OF the knights was rather
abruptly terminated at IL o'clock yesterday
forenoon. The Hon, Michael Davitt, one Of
the leading and most telling workers in be-
half Of Ireland, had arrived late Tuesday
night He was soon In the hands Of Master
Workman Powderly, and the suggestion that
the business OF tho convention be tenn
@~orariIy suspended in order to give the dis
tinguished Irishman an opportunity to
address the delegates met with the hearty
concurrence Of every delegate. The recep-
tion which the great home ruler got could

Mrs. Martha +. Edison.

The subject of this sketch was born Aug
ust eth, 1885, and departed this life at her
son-in- laws, G. b. Vale, Belieview, Mo-,
January 9Th, 1887, of consumption. con-
sistent member of the NJ. f. church, she bore
her great sufferings with the most perfect
Christian resignation, up to that last sad
moment, when she passed away. Personal
ly she was all that goes to make up a valu-
able member of society. Her religion was
rather practical than professional. She Wis
tied the sick, gave to the needy, comforted
the distressed, lived humble and prayerfuI.
Her Christian character and bearing were
such that she hardly had an enemy i'm the
world. During her last hours her mind was
upon Heaven. Death was no terror to her;
its strife was gone. With steadfast faith,
never wavering, she longed to be at rest with
her Savior. The end drew near; her pure
sanctified spirit longed for heavenly climes.
Her Savior is with her to the end; bright
are her prospects for Heaven. Let the gen.
tleness of her nature and the purity of her
heart be cherished by those who survive her.
To her children we say, find solace and
comfort in the fact that she is far better off
with Christ in glory, than her, for, "Blessed
are the dead which die IN the Lord, from
yea, saith the Spirit, that they
may rest from their labors, and their works
do follow Them" A FRIEND.

there have been nine conversions. At least

on account of the local which was published

Mr.. Alex White, of the Middlebrook
School District, has concluded to move back

for some time had been causing him so much
anxiety.

A plank walk of a single board leading
from Main street to the grounds would be a
cheap and very desirable convenience.
We often feel the need of a few books OF
reference, and few dollars spent for IL

work.

Miss Nora Russell had some miniature

a teacher lacks in avoirdupois or physical
strength must be made up in firmness; but
how about the two elements combined?

The Revivals.

On Friday night of last week a REGISTER
attache visited each of the three revival meet
ings now In progress in Ironton, for the pur-
pose OF obtaining knowledge in relation
thereto In order that we might furnish our
readers an authentic report of their pro-
ceedings. The first place visited was
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
where was found quite congregation, pay
ing marked attention to Rev. d. A. Wilson,
who was eXpoundingthe scriptures in accord
ance with the Calvinistic creed. Nothing
unusual or noisy here. just such exercises
as are usually seen in the House of God.
Leaving the Presbyterian church and its
worshippers to continue in their devotion,
we departed for
THE METHODIST CHURCH.
TN our arrival we were greeted with "stand-
ing room, scarcely" but summoning up
courage and taking advantage of the rising
of the multitude preparatory to singing, we
slipped In unnoticed and were lucky enough
to get seat, thanks to the intense interest
the former occupant paid TO the chanting.
1t took but a glance to assure the writer that
the proceedings here were of different ma
first visited. The air was full of excitement
and enthusiasm, and the mourners' bench
was filed with penitents. In some instances,
toward the rear of the room, mirth, insult
ed TO the place and occasion, was depicted
in faces usually reverent IN the house of
worship. Rev. B. F. Thomas, resident pas
tor, and Rey. Crow, of De Soto, officiated.
The gentlemen both appeared TO be very
earnest in their endeavors. At the close of
the services here, and, in company with sew
eral of the NJ. E. congregation, we wendell
our way to
THE COLORED CHURCH,
on Zion's Hill, where we found Il house full
of people, about evenly divided. between
whites and blacks. Rev. Campbell had
charge of affairs, and was whooping things
up! He is above the average preacher of his
race, both in appearance and intelligence.
An effervescence of enthusiasm WAS plainly
discernible here. The colored brother is
nothing If not enthusiastic, and his impress
nature is quick to enter into the all
absorbing question of Heaven, Hades, and
His Satanic Majesty. Would that the i'm
pressions he and his white brother periodic
ally receive were more lasting!
